Camperdown Wildlife Centre Reviews

I absolutely loved Camperdown! We didn't pick a great day to go as it poured down right in the middle of our visit. However, they have lots of little hideaways you can keep dry in. I didn't like being chased by peacocks much (even though my other half felt the need to film it!). The otters decided it was too cold to come out, and the marmosets were too busy sleeping to get good look; but the brown bears were adorable. The bird collection was brilliant, and there's plenty to see. Check before you go though, we wanted to see the Lynx, but when we visited there was a sign on the enclosure to say "Unfortunately our Lynx recently died, although this gives our keepers the opportunity to decorate ready for the next animal"! A bit of a strange thing to do, but hopefully they've replaced the animal and taken down the sign. All in all, a brilliant day out...and cheap too!

Yeah, we thought it was a bit much, they even left the sign up with the animal history and background on. Was really strange that they didn't think to remove the signs and just take the information off the website.
